GKU Volunteering Awards


Always great to celebrate all those students who, in addition to their studies, give a crazy number of hours to a whole variety of activities. THANK YOU to all of you who have worked hard for the benefit of others both on campus and within our local community.

Three awards I was personally thrilled about  ...

Our very own Kesia Balsters won 'Freshers' Helper of the Year'  ...  "Kesia, it's been great being part of your journey at university, and a privilege to walk alongside you through the rough and the smooth."

The Sports Studies Society won 'Fundraiser of the Year' for their work with the Paper Hearts Project  ...  "Ian, who would believe we'd miss you walk around campus laden with boards and glue and origami paper?  It was a fabulous project to be part of and I hope and pray the effects will be felt for a long time to come."

Last, but by no means least, the 'Event of the Year' award went to MADS for their play The Addams Family Musical  ...  "I brought several friends along to the Sunday performance and we laughed long and hard. Don't know which adjective to use - it was FANTASTIC, FUNNY, CLEVER, BRILLIANT, the list could go on.  They say that laughter is the best and cheapest form of well-being therapy and I went away feeling simply marvellous!"
